I think if you mix a pinky red and an orangey red you'll get something like that. I think Imtempestivity did SFX Nuclear Red and Cherry Bomb mixed in a 1:1 ratio and got this kind of bright, true red.

Yep, I do a 50/50 mix of SFX Nuclear Red with SFX Cherry Bomb and get that exact shade.

It fades orange, though, and I wanted a pink fade so now I do 75% Cherry Bomb with 25% Nuclear.

Exactly as Intempestivity said.

I had this exact colour and I got it by mixing Nuclear Red and Cherry Bomb. Mine was about a 50/50 mix and faded pink.

Ooh.  You can create a similar shade with Crimson and Truly Red from Adore--Truly Red is quite orange, though, so just add it a little bit at a time until you get the right colour.

Here's a Crimson/Ruby Red/Truly Red mix that I did.  You can see how orange it is in bright light, and that was with only 25% Truly Red!

Crazy color fire (pink based red) mixed with crazy color vermillion (orange based red) gave me a very similar colour to that picture. I loved it and will be doing it again later this year but I will be doing a 75 fire / 25 vermillion mix rather than 50/50 because I like my red more of a pinky red, personally don't like orange red that much. I started mixing the two because I found fire used on its own on a yellow base was far too pink for me.
